      1000 % agree .. The songs he and Steinman created were not 2 or 3 minutes like we see today.. They were over 10 minutes and some hit 14 minutes and had many verses…

      Well, he was a Broadway star hired to sing an album that Jim Steinman had just written. So, yeah, he was unknown in the mainstream, but he was well known in theatre. He'd been appearing on Broadway for probably 8 years before bat out of hell came out .

    Meat Loaf has been my favorite artist since I was 9 years old, 26 years ago. That was when I first heard "I'd Do Anything For Love". Everyone else was listening to BSB and I was blasting "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights". He had some hard times and so many health issues but despite it all he really left his mark. I'm so happy I saw him in concert in 2016. His voice wasn't as strong any more but he was still iconic and he put on one helluva show. Rest easy Meat. ❤🦇

What a fun to watch both of them just having fun on stage, having fun with this song. And how beautiful to see the orchestra just picking up the mood. WHAT A PLEASURE. Thx for Posting.

    Once or twice in a generation a spectacular talent emerges. I am lucky that in my generation we had Meatloaf, Freddie, David Bowie, Elton John Suzi Quattro, Slack Sabbath. Think we quite likely got the greatest concentration of talent. Stars that are still bigger than most of this generation's finest, Some of whom died before they were even born.
